Australia’s south-east will shiver through chilly conditions for the rest of the June long weekend as a cold snap moves through multiple states.

Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Dean Narramore said temperatures would remain icy in several parts of the country until Tuesday.

“Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart and Canberra are looking at cold, wet and windy weather over the next few days,” Narramore said.

As a polar blast moves through, heavy snow is expected in alpine areas in Victoria and New South Wales including Mount Buller, Falls Creek, Hotham, Thredbo and Perisher.

“We could see 40cm to 60cm of snow over the next three days,” Narramore said.

“Many other areas are looking at 20 to 40mm across south-eastern parts of the country, with lots of showers, rain, hail and very cold temperatures.”

Narramore said along the east coast and northern Australia residents will see temperatures “near average or slightly below in the coming days”.

“Lots of sunshine there and staying dry,” he said.

“The warmth in the short term will be hanging out through western parts of the country, but that might get to eastern and south-eastern parts by about at this time next week.”

A warmer-than-average winter has been forecast for winter.
